Chapter Ten

Names. Dates. Facts. Argh! How was she supposed to memorize all this stuff? She’d so much rather watch a historical romance than read a never-ending list of numbers, but her history professor didn’t think that counted. And science? There weren’t any romantic science movies that she knew about, so there was no chance of hope for her there.

Chelsea lay flat on her back for a minute, staring at the ceiling, then rolled over and stood up. As soon as her feet hit the floor, her knee buckled, and she caught herself on the bedpost as pain radiated throughout her leg. Oh, no. This wasn’t good. She allowed herself to sit on the edge of the mattress for a second, and then she pushed to her feet again, being very careful to distribute the weight evenly between both legs. That was better, but she knew she had to get over to Dr. Michelle. Something was wrong.

She made it out of the cabin and managed to lower herself down the steps, but she didn’t see how she was going to make it all the way over to the spa this way. The pain was bringing tears to her eyes, and she wasn’t a crier. Maybe she should text her parents. She didn’t know where they were, but they couldn’t have gone too far, and they’d help her. Of course, that meant admitting pain, and that meant admitting weakness . . . She didn’t like that idea.

She did have one other number saved in her phone, though—for a person she knew she could count on. She just had to swallow her pride to do it.

Taking a deep breath, she pushed the button. She might be the most stubborn person she knew, but she wasn’t going to stand there at the bottom of her steps all day, in pain and looking like a dork.

“Um, hi, Joey.”

“Hey. What’s up?”

“Are you busy?”

“Not particularly. Just hanging out in the break room until our next swim.”

“Could you . . . well, I need some help.” She closed her eyes. This was so embarrassing, she didn’t even want to see herself say it. “I’m sort of stuck at my cabin, and I need to get over to the spa.”

“On my way.” He hung up, and she exhaled with relief. Now she just had to hang on to the stair rail for a few minutes, and she could do that.

When Joey arrived, he was riding a four-wheeler, which he parked right in front. “I didn’t know what you meant by ‘stuck,’ so I thought I’d come prepared,” he said, holding up a coil of rope.

She laughed, even though the pain was getting worse. “Were you going to tie the rope around my waist and pull me over to the spa?”

He shrugged. “Rope is a very good thing to grab when you aren’t sure what all you might need.”

She shook her head, smiling. “I don’t think we’ll need the rope, but I do appreciate the four-wheeler. I’ve done something to my knee, and this was as far as I could get.
